There is a pool of fighters who have just took two steps over Brook and basically proven that they are better fighters. Brook's not a bad fighter, he's actually very good at what he's good at, Match Room and Sky are behind him and hopefully he'll bounce back and have a career worth remembering. Brook's a likeable chap, and he can fight! Right now the young up and coming fighters are just 2 steps ahead of Brook, they are beating better guys than he has in better fashion, their taking and winning tougher fights.
Why? Because he was sat with Jonny Nelson depressed drinking coffee! If Kell Brook would have fought and beaten Devon Alexander he'd probably be sitting #2 P4P in Britain, and people would be laughing at Amir Khan for suggesting Brook isn't fit to lace his boots. The man is a capable fighter, what has happened may not be down to booze and partying, give Brook a chance!
Yep, i think he's a good fighter with lots of ability but what he has achieved thus far is pathetic. Talent wise yeah you would put him higher but his resume seriously goes against him at the moment.
A reasonably skilled, well schooled, athletic fighter, technically sound offensively, fights a little loose but it works for him. Long reach, high output, enough power to stamp his authority, decent chin. A Light Welter Weight Nathan Cleverly would batter Amir Khan and I have to be honest because David Haye cannot box, I have him lower down the rankings than most, to be honest I'd like to omit Khan and Haye from the top 10, but thats not possible, the guys below them are just not as accomplished on the world stage. Haye P4P in terms of skill set is nothing to write home over, its the world titles sitting in his cabinet that has him in my list. Haye cannot throw a jab! He is an athlete, even his power shots come from upper body strength and not transferred through his hips. He is a single power puncher with limited skills. Very athletic and very explosive.

Yes, considering he has actually been fighting in eliminators. David Haye has only beaten Chisora in the last 2 years. Chisora isn't even top 30 p4p in Britain IMO.
